Watchers

I haven't journaled in a while, but welcome to all my new watchers and everyone who's come by to browse in the past couple of months :) A lot has happened! Most notably, the fundraising goal for my second book fundraiser was reached and blown past by over $600!! Thanks to everyone who donated. I've added a couple of western cons to the convention schedule and there will be cosplayers from North and South Dakota, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and more included in the book!

This week, I was lucky enough for my work to be noticed by the gaming website Polygon, who profiled me for their "Human Angle" series. I talk to reporter Alexa Ray Corriea about gaming, the cosplay community, my photography, and most importantly, my cosplay photobook.

-> You can check out the article and video here.

Here are my upcoming conventions for the next two months!

:bulletred: Anime Central, Chicago, IL
:bulletred: Anime Boston, Boston, MA
:bulletred: AniMegaCon, Las Vegas, NV
:bulletred: SoDakCon, Rapid City, SD

If you are interested in supporting the book, you can always head to my store and grab a wall poster! Half of the proceeds are donated to the Boys and Girls Club of America, the other half goes towards book printing.

I take pictures :heart:

I specialize in cosplay photography and stage photography with a focus on taiko (Japanese drumming). This may seem like an odd combination, but it works for me and I love doing it. XD I shoot with Canon; my main camera is a Canon 1D Mark III and my second camera is a Canon Rebel T2i.

I am currently working on publishing a photobook on cosplay in the United States. If you're interested in being part of the project, I invite you to learn more on the official page. [link] or visit the Facebook page [link]

See below for a schedule of where I'll be in the next few months and maybe we can work together!

Visit [link] for my cosplay props and more photos of my own costumes :D

Current Residence: Boston
Photographers who inspire me: Joey L, Laurence Kim, Miss Aniela, Amanda Irwin, Benny Lee, Neil van Niekerk, Stephen Tang, Abbot W., Nuby deLeon
